Where this position leads

Condition: Cholesterol (LDL, HDL and Total)

Solid lines are connections this site curates. Dashed lines mean the two ends share a research paper — worth knowing, and not a claim that one explains the other.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Cholesterol, total. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Cholesterol, total. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Cholesterol, total. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2081687

What is rs2081687?

rs2081687 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CYP7A1 gene. Published research associates it with cholesterol, total. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2081687 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Cholesterol (LDL, HDL and Total). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

What do people read about alongside rs2081687?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include cholesterol and blood fats (3 papers), blood sugar and insulin (1 papers), heart and circulation (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs2081687 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs2081687 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2013, PMID:24097068. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
